Joe was ways a good friend all the years I knew him. He spent a couple weeks or more on the island for many summers or you could always see him in Charlevoix. Fond farewell Joe!

Joe McCann

I remember my Cousin Joe from the many visits when we were kids growing up. He was always into something when we stayed at The McCann house on our way to Beaver Island for the summer. The last time we visited with him was sometime in the 90s. He told us about how things were going and how much fun he had out riding his motor cycle in the UP. He had some great adventures and really enjoyed the times. I will miss him as my brother Tom and I have just made plans to come up at the end of July around the 24th and go to the Island and this would have been a great time to see him again. Rest in peace Joe...rest in peace.
